Damn. There were some great products in there, products that far surpass Google's current offerings.

Which one do you miss the most? And why.

Buzz was fun, but Reader is the only one I really miss. It was great for managing my various news feeds. I haven't really used RSS since.

I remember when iGoogle was a thing--we all could take charge of our
Google start pages and customize the hell out of them. I had just about everything I would need all on that start page--actually 3 of them. When the pulled the plug on it I was pissed but I got over it.

Still irate over the death of Reader. Took the longest time to find a decent replacement. Currently alternating between Feedly and Flipboard for that.

When they kill the Plus I may just go back to sending letters to people.

I am for sure going to miss Google PLUS.
I find it to be a safe environment within which to communicate among friends. Much better than Facebook!!

Picasa also had a LOT to offer for easy access to ones photos. I find Google Photos to be very wishy-washy!!

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
